Sítio Sightseeing Attractions | Nazaré

November 5, 2009 By Helen Page 1 Comment

Sitio – A different world altogether: A short funicular ride up from Nazaré and we’re in Sítio, the old part of town that sits on the cliff-top. I’m really pleased that we’ve sacrificed the sardines and cakes in Nazaré to come up here as it’s a different world altogether.  Being away from the sea, farming […]

This little fishing village with its huge stretch of beautiful sandy beach is a pleasant change of scenery from the castles, fortresses and churches that we’ve been visiting.

Portuguese Cuisine – What to eat on your holiday

March 20, 2009 By Helen Page 3 Comments

Fishetarians will eat well in Portugal! Cuisine in Portugal varies by region, but being a seafaring nation with a well-developed fishing industry, fish and seafood dominate most menus. Fishetarians like Tony and I will eat well here. Portugal has been fishing and trading cod since the 15th century and it’s no wonder that ‘Bacalhau’, a […]
